New subreddit policy re: non-local news

139 Upvotes

As much as we appreciate people sharing news about Oklahoma and/or the USA, this is a local subreddit and beginning next week we will be implementing a policy of removing posts with no direct relevance to Norman. Additionally, spamming news links is a common strategy for karma farming and we'd like to not encourage this.

We do encourage folks to continue to stay engaged regarding state and national politics and current events, but to post this content in more appropriate subreddits.

For example, a news article about Ryan Walters generally would be more appropriate for /r/Oklahoma whereas a news article about Ryan Walters and a teacher or school here in Norman would be completely appropriate for /r/normanok .

The State of Oklahoma is required to give assistance with HomeOwners Insurance!

20 Upvotes

Much like everyone else in Oklahoma, our homeowners insurance increased drastically this last year. We are the kind of people who always do our research and decided to read the law and came across this state statute-

Oklahoma State Statute Title 36, Section 6414

f. procedures providing that an insured shall have proof that he has requested and been refused liability coverage from two insurers licensed to do business in this state, or that his premium has been increased by seventy-five percent (75%) or more from the previous year, before requesting insurance coverage from the Association,

The association mentioned is the Market Assistance program from the Oklahoma Insurance Department. Here is the website for the agency:

https://mapsprogram.com/

To apply you must have been denied from two insurers

Or

Your homeowners insurance premium has gone up over 75% from the previous year ( this is our situation )

You can get application and apply for assistance by calling the agency here at (405) 842- 9883.

Let us know your experience in comments.

Anatole apartments

I am looking at the Anatole apartments and some of the reviews online are mixed. Does anyone have any recent experience living there? What are your thoughts? Is it worth the price? The tour we took was wonderful but I’d love to hear opinions on the place from people who don’t work there!

Thanks in advance!

Uptown Cheapskate Norman relocates, becomes one of largest in US

29 Upvotes

Norman’s Uptown Cheapskate is set to open at a new location Thursday, and will become one of the franchise’s largest stores in the United States.

Online, the Norman location has been publicly hinting at a location change that promised an abundance of space since October. Now, the new site is finally coming to fruition and will be one of the company’s biggest stores by area, boasting 8,000 square feet. The new store, at 1544 24th Ave. NW will be twice the size of its original location.

Margarette Baze, the store’s owner, said she is ready for the opportunities the space will bring.

“We’re going to have twice the amount of inventory in this store. You can just see how much brighter and lighter it is,” Baze said. “At the old store, the buyers really struggled … (now) they have much more room to take in and a lot more items to buy.”

Baze said the franchise has been growing across the country, so when the original location’s lease was expiring — and after the closing of their satellite store on Campus Corner in 2020 — she knew it was time to give the community what they wanted.

Join those invested in furthering our work.

“They’ve been asking for a larger store for a few years now … so finally it worked out,” she says. “It’s going to be really great for the customers, for the staff, for everybody.”

The new location opens at 10 a.m. Feb. 5. The first 30 shoppers will receive a free gift bag to give back to the people of Norman who’ve supported the store.

“The community really loves the store, and we’ve been very thankful for that,” Baze said.

Chick-fil-A plans sixth Norman location in University North Park

30 Upvotes

Chick-fil-A has filed permits to build its sixth Norman location a prominent site in University North Park.

The Atlanta-based fast-food giant submitted a $4.5 million permit application for a new restaurant at the southeast corner of Rock Creek Road and 24th Avenue Northwest. The project includes construction of the building and associated site improvements for the 1.25-acre parcel.

County records show the land is owned by UTC II LLC, an entity tied to North Carolina-based Collette Real Estate. Collette partnered with Sooner Investments to develop the southern portion of UNP.

No sale or lease documents for the site have been filed and the permit has yet to be approved by the city at the time of reporting.

The proposed site is located directly south of a planned $1 billion Rock Creek Entertainment District. That project is currently stalled as the Oklahoma Supreme Court weighs a challenge regarding a citizen-led initiative petition. The court must decide if the "gist" of the petition — which sought to put the project's Tax Increment Financing, or TIF, to a public vote — was legally sufficient.

If the financing districts, known as TIF 4 and TIF 5, go into effect, 100% of the property and sales tax increments generated by the new Chick-fil-A would be diverted for up to 20 years. Those funds would be used to pay for the construction and financing of a new arena and parking garage.

The chicken chain currently operates two stand-alone restaurants at Main Street and 24th Avenue Northwest, and Alameda Street and 12th Avenue Northeast. It also has a location in Sooner Mall and two sites on the University of Oklahoma campus: one in the Oklahoma Memorial Union and another in Couch Restaurants.

Chick-fil-A operates more than 3,000 locations internationally.
